We're dividing 688359 by 73 
We want to divide 688359 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 0 from 68.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 688 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
73 goes into 688 9 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 657 from 688 leaves us with 31.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 313 / 73

On to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 313 4 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 94.0
Deduct 292 from 313 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 215 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
73 can be fit into 215 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 942.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 146 from 215.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 699 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
73 can be fit into 699 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9429.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 657 from 699.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 420 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9429.5
Deduct 365 from 420 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
73 goes into 550 7 times with a remainder of 39.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9429.57
Deduct 511 from 550 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
390 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9429.575
Deduct 365 from 390 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
250 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9429.5753
Deduct 219 from 250 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 310 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9429.57534
Subtract 292 from 310 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
73 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9429.575342
Deduct 146 from 180 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 340 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9429.5753424
If we subtract 292 from 340, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
73 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9429.57534246
If we take 438 away from 480, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9429.57534246, and the remainder is 4.2e-08.
